Job Details

I’m partnering with a highly regarded national firm in Melbourne's CBD, known for its genuinely supportive culture and strong team stability. They’re looking for an Intermediate Legal Assistant to join their team on a permanent basis.

This is a great opportunity to step into a position where you’ll be trusted with real responsibility, continue to build on your skills, and work closely with a Principal Lawyer. The team is well-established, low turnover, and offers a collaborative environment where people tend to stay long term.

Why this role is great:

  • Join a high-performing, collaborative team known for being approachable and supportive;

  • Flexible working arrangements - work from home 2 days per week;

  • Prime Melbourne CBD location close to public transport;

  • Exposure to a fast-paced, varied workload with opportunities to grow and develop; and

  • Work for a firm that values its people and invests in wellbeing and professional development.

What you’ll do:

  • Provide administrative and secretarial support to the Principal Lawyer and wider team;

  • Assist with WIP, pre-bills, monthly billing cycles, and debtor management;

  • Liaise with internal and external stakeholders to ensure smooth client service;

  • Open new matters, conduct conflict checks, maintain electronic filing, and prepare briefs; and

  • Draft and amend legal correspondence and documents, and assist with reporting.

What we’re looking for:

  • Previous experience in a legal support role, ideally in a law firm;

  • Strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage competing priorities;

  • Professionalism, discretion, and confidentiality;

  • Proactive, can-do attitude and a team player mindset; and

  • Advanced Microsoft Office skills; experience with Aderant and iManage is a plus.
